This isn't the first time this very watch has graced the cover of
HODINKEE. No, no. It was last summer, during the 2012 Olympic games
that this prototype Richard Mille RM038 first mad its appearance on the
'Dink, on the wrist of Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake (see that article here).
You see, what this watch is, is Blake's personal RM038 tourbillon,
devised specifically for him, and worn during the Olympics and several
other races. And now this very watch is for sale at Only Watch 2013.

While the RM59-01 might be Blake's weapon of choice now, it was this one of a kind RM038 that he made the biggest splash with, and now you can buy it at this weekend's Only Watch 2013 sale in Monaco.

This watch has not been altered in any way since coming off of Yohan Blake's wrist, and you can still see the scuff marks on the case, and sweat on the nylon velcro strap. It's very, very cool.

While there are no pre-sale reserves in Only Watch, the "wish" price of this watch, as set by the manufacture is 450,000 - 500,000 euro, rivaling even the one of a kind Patek Philippe 5004 in titanium. While it is unlikely this RM will beat out the PP at the end of the day, Rafa Nadal's personal RM27 did take second place in the last iteration of Only Watch.
